About the wiring problem, I'd expect all years to have that issue. On
the W124, every model between 1992-95 had this issue. The replacement
harnesses you buy today, brand-new, are made of the SAME stuff and
will have the SAME problem in another 10+ years. (Hey - don't shoot

It's not hype. It's well documented fact. What most people forget is

That's exactly right. Two list members who tried the 0W-40 had lifter
noise return on their OM603 engines, and one noticed a significant
increase in iron wear particles in the oil analysis. Reverting to
5W-40 or 15W-50 cured both issues... lifters quieted down and iron
wear went back to normal.
An
As Marshall already mentioned, which you would have noticed if you had
been reading your messages instead of making snide jabs at Kaleb...
the M-1 0W-40 is on the thin side of a 40 rating. I vaguely recall
something about the Amsoil 0W-30 having similar specs? Despite being
awfully close numericall
And THAT, David, is why I'm not interested in bypass filters. You do
get near-virgin oil in the engine at all times, but there's nearly
zero cost savings over just using extended drain intervals. Changing
the TP every 2.5k and adding a quart would be somewhat of a nuisance
to me. I would consider d
For those of you who missed the memo, and since Mobil won't fess up to
it... Delvac-1 is now sold as Mobil-1 'Truck & SUV' Formula but a lot
cheaper. Usually $5/qt, or if you're willing to go to the Evil Empire,
Mall-Wart has 5-qt jugs for ~$19.89. That's about $3.98/qt for
Delvac-1, folks. If you
I'm interested too. Details, please! Also, does it work only with

OMG. That's insane. Remember that reaction time does not affect the ET or
MPH, it only affects if you win or lose the race against the guy in the
other lane. Anyway, 13.1 sec @ 106mph... that's crazy.

In the podunk towns I live next to, diesel popped to $3.25/gallon this
morning. Might be $3.50 by sundown. If I can get virgin VO for $2.50/gal,
point me to the vendor, please. I'll keep track of every drop and remit my
DOT taxes promptly, honest Injun.

ldn't be the radiator because it was only 4
years old. Guess what? It was the radiator. It's awfully hard to
diagnose, though. I replaced everything else and that was the only
thing left, so I took the gamble and it worked.
